Description of the problem	Summary: 2005 nissan xterra fuel gauge reading empty when full and slowly rising back to the correct display level then dropping to mid-level displaying incorrectly. Service engine light comes on and stays on sometimes turning off and on at odd times. This event happens everyday and i have now relied on the tripometer to tell my fuel level. Prior events leading to malfunction: i was driving on a 9 hour long trip during winter. I was about 4 hours into the trip and my fuel gauge oddly dropped to empty so i filled up but no change occurred. On the way up it started to work again so i figured it was a fluke and trusted the gauge. My car stalled about 8 hours in and i had to wait in the cold for 2 hours for aaa. Repairs made: no repairs were made but i have looked for quotes on the repair and i keep getting different answers to the problem. One said the fuel gauge sensor needs to be reset (200 dollar fee) and another said the fuel pumps need to be replaced (700 dollar fee). Similarities to common recall: the issue i have is so common to the nhtsa campaign id number: 10v075000 recall. This recall is on the 2006 and 2008 nissan xterra, frontier, and pathfinder. It involves: the molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. I have no doubt that we 2005 xterra owners are having the same issue, and online that is the consensus. Thank you very much for your time and work resolving this issue.
